For the Record: Beyoncé Back on Naughty Boy’s “Runnin'”

. Lady Gaga‘s new single “Till It Happens to You” reveals a new musical direction for her, and carries a powerful message – the single and video aim to raise awareness of sexual assault on university campuses.

. The Neighbourhood, the band best known for 2013 hit “Sweater Weather”, have just released the Hype Williams-directed video for new one “R.I.P. 2 My Youth”, a cheerful track despite the dark subject matter. The song is the lead single from upcoming album Wiped Out!, due next month.
